SEATTLE (AP) — A 28-year-old woman whose sleep was interrupted by a cancer charity run outside her Seattle apartment has been charged with assault and reckless endangerment for pelting supporters with trash, used cat litter and frozen chicken.

Amy Lee was jailed briefly and has not yet entered a plea.

Charging papers say she tossed a bag of trash out her fifth floor window onto supporters cheering the June 1 Susan G. Komen Foundation Race for the Cure.

The seattlepi.com reports (http://bit.ly/1lnsFKB) she followed that with a load of kitty litter full of feces, a large piece of frozen chicken that hit a 13-year-old girl and a juice bottle that nearly hit a disabled man.

Lee told an officer she works 13 hours a day and needs to sleep in on Sundays. Attempts to locate Lee or her lawyer were unsuccessful.
